Renew an ITIN

Expert guidance to help you renew your ITIN accurately and in full compliance with IRS requirements.

ABOUT THE SERVICE

If your ITIN has expired or is nearing expiration, it must be renewed before you can file a U.S. tax return or receive a refund. As an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA), CertifiedAcceptanceAgent.com provides professional, IRS-compliant ITIN renewal services worldwide, ensuring your renewal application is accurate, properly documented, and submitted in line with IRS Form W-7 requirements to help avoid unnecessary delays.

When ITIN Renewal Is Required & Who It Applies To

An ITIN must be renewed if any of the following apply:

  • It has not been used on a U.S. federal tax return for three consecutive years

  • The IRS has issued an ITIN expiration notice

  • The ITIN falls within a range designated as expired by the IRS

  • You are filing a tax return and the ITIN is no longer valid

Using an expired ITIN can result in delayed tax return processing, refund holds or denials, disallowed credits or deductions, and other IRS compliance issues.

Our ITIN renewal services are commonly used by non-U.S. residents filing U.S. tax returns, foreign investors and property owners, spouses and dependents with expired ITINs, individuals returning to U.S. tax filing after several years, and families requiring multiple ITIN renewals. If you are unsure whether your ITIN has expired, we can help assess your status and guide you on the appropriate next steps.

Documents & Tax Return Requirements for ITIN Renewal

When renewing an ITIN, the IRS requires documentation that confirms both identity and foreign status. Commonly required documents include:

  • Valid passport (preferred)

  • National identification card (if applicable)

  • Birth certificate (commonly required for dependents)

  • Supporting documentation if personal details have changed

We advise whether updated documents are required or whether previously submitted documentation remains acceptable for your renewal.

In many cases, ITIN renewals may be submitted with or without a U.S. federal tax return, depending on your situation. If you are filing a return, renewing before submission can help avoid delays. If you are not currently filing, early renewal is still permitted. We help determine the most appropriate approach based on your filing plans.
